    Shopping for wheels

    Where does everyone go for their wheels nowadays? Ive been looking for some new 19inch wheels for my 350z but all i can find is high offsets rims. I'm sure the correct offset is 12 to 20.

    Why?

    19" tyres cost loads more money, the lower profile causes increased tramlining, there is less sidewall to cushion the wheels, which will be more easily mishapen by pot holes and speed bumps etc.

    19" are for tarts....

    The question is Neil, are you a tart?

    19's on a Zed look 100% better and the tram lining is unnoticeable as opposed to a Skyline , now that is a NO NO

    As a fellow tart I can't say I've noticed any problems with my 19's............... but then again I've had nothing to compare them with.

    Anyway I like being a tart!!!!
